Why are some people disagreeable simply for the sake of being disagreeable?
And are Americans more disagreeable, or less so, than other nationalities?

6. Because we can be.
And, in my experience, no, I don't think so. People are pretty much the same in most places.

7. Don't know about all Americans...
but after 20 years working in higher ed, I will say that college professors pride themselves on being disagreeable. Just go up to one and say "The sky is blue" and see what you get. I've spent 35 years in health care and doctors are much easier to work with than professors.

8. True. And the MDs
are far more likely to actually know what they are talking about than the PhDs who, generally, are legends only in their own minds.
